Follow these instructions to install Oracle FS Path Manager (FSPM) without rebooting the operating system.
- Follow the steps to install the FSPM software.
- Remove the configuration information and device definition from AIX for any Oracle FS System LUN or Pillar Axiom LUN disk devices.
Use the
rmdev command to remove the configuration and definition:
Example:
# rmdev -l hdiskx -d
Where
hdiskx is the name and number of the device to be deleted.
Note: The devices for Oracle FS System LUN or Pillar Axiom LUN have a description of Other FC SCSI Disk Drive or Other iSCSI Disk Drive. Confirm that the disk devices you are removing are for Oracle FS System LUN or Pillar Axiom LUNs, because other disk devices could be using these descriptions, too.
- Create the configuration entries for the new multipath devices for the LUNs, and bring the paths and LUNs online.
Use the following command to create and activate the new configuration:
# cfgmgr
It may be necessary to run cfgmgr more than once to bring all LUNs and paths online.
- Start the FSPM daemon to complete the task
Run the following command to start the daemon
# startsrc -s fspmd
